>From the xml. stoposd element tells freevo to get out of the way spawwm element tells freevo to start/stop an x11 window manager while app is running (obviously you must be running X for this)
>From the local_conf.py: COMMAND_SPAWN_WM -- how to start your window manager COMMAND_KILL_WM -- how to stop your window manager examples: for ratpoison: COMMAND_SPAWN_WM = 'ratpoison &' COMMAND_KILL_WM = 'ratpoison -c quit' for metacity (gnome default wm): COMMAND_SPAWN_WM = 'metacity &' COMMAND_KILL_WM = 'killall metacity' As for your application problem. Try running a few different apps, to see if this is application specific. I have tested with MozillaFirebird, RealPlayer, and a few other apps. I have never tested with MythTv(It freezes my machine hard and i have to manually reset) although someone has made a plugin to use mythtv as the tv app for freevo. he was on irc working with dischi a few weeks ago. -- Mike Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://world.std.com/~mruelle/ On Sun, 2004-02-01 at 09:05, Robert Rozman wrote: > Hi, > > I've tried that and it works (great - I thought of this and you created > plugin some days ago - I wish that could happen each time I have desire.... > :-) ).. > > I'd just ned to do something useful with spawnwm and killwm (I start mythtv > with that and when it finishes I get blank screen). > > Could you give us some more info on meaning of parameters in Mozilla.fxd ? > > Thanks in advance, > > regards, > > Robert. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael Ruelle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "FreevoDevel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 1:55 AM > Subject: Re: [Freevo-devel] Smallest mainmenu plugin to start > "outside"application > > > > I have made a plugin in cvs to do this with the commandmmitem.py plugin. > > It uses the fxd file format that is new in cvs for command.py.
